ABOUT VOYAGE TO OCEANUM
“Voyage to Oceanum” is the second
chapter in a trilogy of fantasy fiction tales starring R.H. Macy IV (the
great-great-grandson of Macy’s founder). This new exhibition takes place after
the events of last spring’s galactic “Journey to Paradisios.” In this new adventure R.H. Macy IV finds a
hidden treasure map that may hold the key to the whereabouts of a long lost family
heirloom. With the help of expert sailor Kate Capsian, he sets off to find the
hidden treasure only to be plunged into a deep sea adventure after an attack
from a mythical sea monster, the dreaded Kraken.
Soon after the attack R.H. and
Kate find out that the Kraken isn’t the only mystifying creature they will
encounter as they scour the abyss for the lost treasure. From mermaids to
sharks and other creatures of the deep, this voyage will reveal a secret floral
filled land called Oceanum.
